haha yes i agree with you. the ending will suck even more if xiao yao dies. ppl will then be watching this show to see all the characters die at the end... so its better if xiao yao live and takes care of yi ru (:

Well,if XiaoYao dies,the show would be more memorable and touching.Of course many viewers would not want it this way,but for a show to live in the viewers' heart after watching it,viewers would not get what they want.

XY doesnt need to 'die' in order to die. What I mean is that isnt part of him dead already when watching his friends' deaths one by one, and his wife Ling Er? That is pictured perfectly in the very end when his expression is kinda empty (very different with what he is pictured in the drama - cheerful, playful type). And people say, including the drama that your wife/husband is your another half, meaning that if they are gone for good, you lost half of your 'life'?

There's no way that Ling Er could've lived. Nu Wa descendents are meant to sacrifice themselves for their people at a young age.

I don't think Xiao Yao should've died either. Yi Ru will grow up without parents, just like what Xiao Yao himself had to go through. And I know Ling Er wouldn't have wanted that. Auntie and Xiao Hu will be very upset as well.
